Is your fantasy life holding you back? As cautious Saturn moves in reverse through idealistic Pisces on Monday, we’ll be challenged to consider how delusion can influence the desires and goals we pursue. Confronting this idea may be uncomfortable at first, but try to resist the urge to simply dive under the covers and hope everything works out. Use the next three months of this transit to explore how tapping into your imagination can propel you forward, rather than keep you standing still.
On Tuesday, analytical Mercury will enter meticulous Virgo, which promises to sharpen our eye for detail and boost our collective focus. This transit often pushes us to be more organized and efficient, too, making it an ideal time to pour yourself into any work or passion projects that require some fine-tuning. Just remember to take a step back to look at the bigger picture every once in a while — otherwise you could lose sight of what you’re trying to accomplish.
Then, prepare for your inner world to undergo a metamorphosis of sorts after innovative Uranus stations retrograde in perceptive Gemini late on Friday or early Saturday, depending on your time zone. Over the next five months of this transit, we’ll be encouraged to reflect on our beliefs about ourselves and shift any thinking that might be keeping us achieving our true potential. This is also an excellent moment to test your limits and experiment with ideas that you’ve been too timid to explore. Enjoy crafting new narratives and make an effort to be kind to yourself as you navigate this critical awakening.
Finally, as you greet the lunar eclipse in intuitive Pisces on Sunday, be mindful that emotions tend to run high under this influence and could even begin to distort our perception of reality. If you feel tempted to make a rash decision or lash out at someone in your life, try to press pause and give yourself time to assess what’s really going on. This lunation can help you move forward with heart-centred action — if you harness its energy wisely.
Here is your horoscope for the week of Monday, September 1, 2025.
Aries
The answers that you’re looking for are likely already within your reach, Aries. Keep that in mind if you notice yourself heading toward a crossroads in your career this week. Leaning on your wealth of experience will help you determine which professional path to follow next. You may even find that reflecting on where you’ve been encourages you to hold your head higher as you forge ahead. Then, this weekend, fears and insecurities could quickly rise to the surface while you’re trying to rest. Do your best to really sit with these emotions before you decide how you want to proceed.
Taurus
Has your social life been taking up a lot of your energy lately, Taurus? If so, you may find that adjusting the amount of time that you pour into your friendships allows you to create more space for your ambitions to thrive. This is a brilliant week to evaluate what you want to accomplish and refocus your attention on making connections that’ll help you get there. Meanwhile, prepare to put on your game face, as you could get hit with some surprising news mid-week that threatens your progress. Stay calm and make any necessary adjustments, and you’ll be moving forward again in no time.
Gemini
Home is where the heart is, Gemini. And at the start of this week, you may feel called to shift your focus from indulging in fun summer activities to tackling your domestic duties. Enjoy decluttering, reorganizing and reacquainting yourself with your happy place during this period. Just be mindful that if you share a space with others, this energy could also cause your need for control to rear its ugly head. Give people a chance to voice their opinions before you make any irreversible decisions. When it comes to your career, you could suddenly find yourself in the spotlight this weekend. Take advantage of this moment to make a professional pivot.
Cancer
Have you been feeling a bit scatterbrained as of late, Cancer? If so, this week could present you with a beautiful opportunity to start restructuring your priorities and adjusting your approach to work. As you do, it’s important that you focus on completing your existing projects before you jump into any new ones. Do your best to be realistic about your goals and measured in your actions, and success is sure to follow. Then, this weekend, you may find that your thirst for knowledge intensifies, making you yearn to expand your world. Don’t let your everyday responsibilities hold you back from pursuing new experiences.
Leo
Have you been struggling to gather the motivation to take care of your everyday responsibilities, Leo? Perhaps it’s time to adjust your workload. Start by asking yourself: what essential tasks do I need to take care of to be happy? You can use your answers to pare back your daily to-do list in a way that helps you fight against feelings of deflation and ultimately maintain your progress. Then, this weekend, you could gain fresh insights into one of your most intimate relationships, causing what was once murky to become crystal clear. Do your best to accept what you learn — when certain things come to light, there’s no turning back.
Virgo
Have you been feeling burnt out lately, Virgo? If so, take a moment to slow down and check in with yourself this week. It’s important to remember that overexerting yourself in the service of others can end up causing you to resent the people you love. So do your best to cut back your efforts to the essentials and give others a chance to fill in the gaps. Once you’ve recalibrated your energy, you’ll be ready to pick up momentum again. You could also find that expressing radical honesty feels particularly intoxicating during this time. Avoid burning bridges by being extra conscious of how you dispense your advice and criticism.
Libra
Have you been making all sorts of little mistakes lately, Libra? If so, try not to let these slip-ups get you down and, instead, look at them as a sign that you might need to give yourself more time to accomplish the tasks on your to-do list. Focus on adjusting your schedule this week so you can avoid rushing through things and take them one step at a time. Meanwhile, you may find that an introspective mood begins to come over you, compelling you to retreat from the world. While it could be tempting to fully isolate yourself, the best way to work this energy will be to hold space for others and listen more than you speak.
Scorpio
Voicing a strong opinion is often a double-edged sword, Scorpio. While it can help you win the respect of others, it also has the potential to sour a critical relationship, especially when finances are involved. So this week, do your best to tread the fine line between assertiveness and overconfidence in your conversations about money. Meanwhile, you may feel inspired to start making massive changes in your domestic sphere. Have fun taking big swings with your space — just be sure that you’re on the same page with the people you live with before you kickstart this metamorphosis.
Sagittarius
Has your space been feeling a bit off lately, Sagittarius? If so, know that it may take some time for you to pinpoint exactly what needs to be done to achieve your dream home — and that you’ll be wise not to rush the process. Use this week to create a list of issues you’d like to address and enjoy exploring your options to solve them. Meanwhile, you could find that your attention to detail is at an all-time high, allowing you to really focus on boosting your professional persona. Enjoy squeezing the juice out of every networking opportunity you get; just try not to get swept away by superficial interactions.
Capricorn
Get ready to embrace simplicity, Capricorn. You likely won’t be in the mood to deal with overcomplicated routines, projects or social engagements from now through the next few months, and sticking to a bare-bones schedule will be the best way to protect your time and energy during this time. Just be sure to carve out some space for indulging your intellectual curiosity as you work to streamline your calendar. Picking up a new book or taking part in a workshop could do wonders for your well-being. After all, as the determined sea goat of the zodiac, you’re all about making upgrades.
Aquarius
Which way is up, Aquarius? You could find yourself wondering as much when it comes to your cash this week. To regain your bearings, focus on gathering your financial records and reviewing your earnings, expenditures, investments and debts. Laying out all this information is sure to help you re-establish your financial confidence and could even help you cultivate an abundance mindset. Meanwhile, you may find that old pleasures and pastimes no longer satisfy you, encouraging you to seek out new sources of joy. Experiment with new activities and creative outlets to discover what sparks your interest.
Pisces
Prepare for your closest relationships to come into focus, Pisces. From now through the next two weeks, you’ll be called to think about the people you really mesh with and what makes these bonds so successful. You may feel more drawn to one-on-one conversations during this time as well; enjoy strengthening your bonds with your loved ones, friends and business partners alike. Over the weekend, you may find that the persona you’ve been projecting in certain scenarios comes to a breaking point. Don’t fret — this awakening will ultimately help you to better understand and voice your unmet needs.
